When cocaine was discovered the medical
world exclaimed 'thank heavens"

pecially when it's use is perverted from the

body. Its first effects are soothing and cap
tivating, but the thraldom is the most hor-
rible slavery known to humanity,
J.. L. Stephens, NJ. D., of Lebanon, o.,
was interviewed by our reporter yesterday
at the Grand Hotel, and during the CONVEX
gation the doctor said: The cocaine habit
Is a thousand times worse than the morphine
and opium habits, and you would be aston
tshed,n he said, IF you knew how frightfully
the habit is increasing"
"What are its e~tfects?"
sIt is the worst constitution wrecker ever
j known. 1t ruins the liver and kidneys in
/ half a year, and when this work is done, the
strongest constitution soon succumbs."
sDo you know of DIR. Underhilrs case here
in Cincinnati?'
THAT leading physician who became a
victim of the cocaine habit? Yes. His case
was a very sad one, but the habit can be
cured. / have rescued many a man from a

point you. | nave treated over 10000 pa
tients. In common with many eminen6 ply
! sicians, I for years made a close study OF the
effects of the habits on the system and the
organs which they most severely attack. DIR.
Hall, DR.. Neil and Mr.. Wilson, whom l have
mentioned, and hundreds of others equally
as expert, made many similar experiments
on their own behalf. We each found that
| these drugs worked most destructively in the
kidneys and liver; in fact, finally destroyed
them. 1t was then apparent that no cure
could be effected until those organs could Da
restored to health. We recently exhausted
the entire range of medical science, expert
menting with all known remedies for these
organs, and as tho result of these close inveS-
LEGATIONS we all substantially agreed, though
following different lines of inquiry,
that the most reliable, scientific prepa-
ration, was Warmers safe cure. This
was the second point in the discovery.
TIE third was our own private form of treat
ment, which, of course, we do not divulge to
the public. Every case that we have treated
first with Warmers safe cure, then with our
own private treatment, followed up
again with Warmers safe cure for a few
weeks, has been successful. These habits
AMI be cured without using it because the
habit is nourished and sustained in the liver
and kidneys. The habit can be, kept up. in
moderation, however, if free use be also
made, at the same time, of that great
remedy
"Yes, it is a world famed and Justly cele-
brated specific! Like many other physicians,
I used to deride the claims made for it, but |
know now for a fat that it Is the worlds
greatest blessing, having sovereign power
over hitherto incurable diseases of the
kidneys ande liver, and when l nave said
that, young man, l have said nearly every
thing, for most diseases originate in, or are
aggravated by, a depraved condition of the
Kidneys
"People do not realize this, because, singu.
lar as it may seem, the kidneys RAY be in q
very advanced stage of decomposition, and
yet owing to the fact that there are but few
nerves of sensation in them the subject will
not experience much pain therein. On thi;
account thousands of people die every year
of kidney disease unknowingly. They have
so-called disorders of the head, Of the heart
and lungs and stomach, and treat them il
vain, for the real cause of their misery is de
ranged kidneys, and they were restored tc
health the other disorders would soon dis
appear:
DR.. Stephens experience, that can be con
firmed by many thousands whom he has
treated, adds only more emphasis to the ex
perience of many hundreds of thousands al
over the world, that the remedy he refers t.
is without any doubt the most beneficen
discovery ever given to humanity.
